Chapter 9 - The Child Everyone Wanted to Control Became the Reason We Destroyed the Last Piece of the Old EmpireVictor returned six months later.
He kidnapped a foundation employee.
He wanted the biological archive.
The last copy.
David refused.
Victor threatened Logan.
That changed everything.
David became furious.
I had never seen him like that.
Alessandro stopped him.
“Don't become them.”
David stared.
“You don't understand.”
“I do.”
“He threatened my son.”
“And if you kill him?”
Silence.
“He wins.”
David lowered his weapon.
We rescued the employee.
Victor was arrested.
The archive was destroyed.
Every copy.
Every key.
Every database.
The biological sequence was removed from the system.
Logan was no longer a key.
He was simply a child.
That was the greatest victory.
We took the last hard drive to the ocean.
David held it.
I watched.
Alessandro stood beside us.
David threw it into the water.
“Goodbye.”
May you like
I smiled.
The past was finally gone.
